Yep. Your body is "use it or lose it". Im in the gym 3 days a week and I feel better and more capable than I ever did as a teen.
It's also kind of a cycle. People who arent active feel their body suffer through day to day movements and think that the gym would genuinely ruin them. They dont realize that it would actually improve their problems, not worsen them, because the lack of activity IS the problem.
Yeah, spot on. Gym helps to raise the bodies capacity beyond whats required for day to day activities, so that day to day activities will no longer hard.
And yeah it is "use it or lose it" if the environment no longer requires extra performance. The body absobrs it back to make use of the nutrients in other parts. 2-3 months of no training is enough to be back at square one, though building it back is going to be easier.
